Heathens Get Clutch Win Versus Oakland
The Halifax Heathens eked out a 3-2 win versus the Oakland Invaders at Howard Terminal. Nobody did more than pitcher Dan Fischer. He was terrific. Jeff Buck finished to wrap up his 9th save. Oakland falls to 15-15.

Halifax used the clutch hitting of Josh Fitzgerald to capture the win. The first baseman drilled a solo home run in the top of the ninth inning to put the Heathens ahead, 3-2. It was his only hit in 3 at-bats, but it was a big one.

"Every loss stings," said Oakland manager Dillon Moyer. "This one is no exception."
